I Found Love In Friendship

By Lisann

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I Found Love in Friendship Just when I thought Time had set me free, Memories from my past Kept haunting me. I did everything I could To ease the pain, But those memories were too strong, And I'd relive them once again. I am so tired of Listening to the sound of my tears, Tired of allowing my life To be controlled By my fears. In my life, When everything had gone wrong, I needed a friend And that's when you came along. You gave me a gift When you opened your heart I knew you were special Right from the start. You entered my heart And destroyed my wall, You've shown me more patience Than I can ever recall. I wanted so much To run from you, To protect my heart So you couldn't hurt me too. BUT~ As time went on You opened my eyes And you set my heart free, You are more than a friend YOU ARE A SISTER TO ME. With you in my life I learned how to love You are my angel Sent from God up above. I spent my life Living in fear Running from love Year after year. I finally stopped running, Stopped being scared. I learned how to love, I learned how to care. I still get confused at times And I hope this will change Your friendship has helped me To release my heart from this pain. You gave me hope Deep down inside You've shown me I no longer need to run and hide. You have broken my walls Released me from my past I see my future With love at last. You gave me it all But you will never know Just how much You have helped me to grow. Written March 21st, 2002 © on Mar 20 2002 03:42 PM PST   0 • 12
